I would prefer that a single match be determined by at least best 3 out of 5 rounds, or preferably best 4 out of 7 rounds, just because how short a single round of jousting is. Setting the higher number of winning rounds entails more turns of situations where the RPS actually matters, which means more opportunities of comeback for the probably losing side, and more consistent wins for the eventual winner.

Also, it just occurred to me this jousting isn't really a game for spectating, since the audience can't see what moves the two players use in each turn.

we have to play practice matches for the tournament?

You can't see the moves they pick, but you can still see the outcome. :P

I'm in!

also if you know the damages of the letters you can determine what people are playing actually

No, I meant as in the matches will be held using the practice with friend option through my wife, not as in you have to win practice matches.

You are right it is fixed.

And that is what exactly was said in the outline of the tournament:
"Only thing you are required to have is gold to pay Lileas for the practice matches."
Unlike the Fashion contest where you can host your own tournament/contest with 100k, there's no tournament/contest option for jousting. Therefore, it will be done through practice with a friend option.

I think there's a misunderstanding.

Are the preliminary matches? >No, there's no practice matches for the tournament. But the tournament itself hosted though practice mode.

You only have to pay gold to practice with an npcs> Yes, you only have to pay against NPCs, we all know that.

Why the gold then? >Yes, you might have to pay to play against the NPCs when there is an uneven match up numbers.

I hope that clears it up now.
